STATUE OF MOLECH SET UP IN ROME
Chris discusses the shocking story of how the Vatican has apparently approved the placement of a pagan statue of the demon god, Molech right outside the Colosseum in Rome. Molech is known in the Bible as the pagan god who required child sacrifices (Leviticus 18:21), where children were reportedly burned alive in rituals where drums were pounded to drown out the cries of the tormented children. Because the Colosseum is known as the site where Christians were martyred for their faith under ancient Rome (because they rejected the pagan gods) it is seen as especially offensive that the Vatican would allow such a statue to set up there. We evaluate Scriptures concerning the pagan deity Molech along with commentaries about how the worship of this demon god was practiced.
